Purpose of the Document

The Master Project Plan $($MPP$)$ defines the project in terms of objectives, scope, deliverables and stakeholders and describes how the project will be executed, monitored, and controlled. It is a primary deliverable in the planning phases of a project and links to the NRS Systems Development Life Cycle $($SDLC$)$ in the Initiation Phase of New Development. The detailed MS Project template is a companion to this document and provides a foundation for preparing a workplan and schedule based on project deliverables and the work breakdown structure $($WBS$).$

The purpose of the MPP is threefold:

$$ To establish and ensure a common understanding between all parties of the objectives, scope and requirements this project will address;

$$ To ensure a common understanding of the work to be performed, the deliverables, the methodology to be used and the roles and responsibilities of all parties; and

$$ To provide the project team with a baseline document $($scope$,$ tasks, estimates and deliverables$)$ from which to carry out the work, and to measure the progress and success of the project.
